Don't know if you were listening but Bill just read out your comment after the latest play of Wilco's 'Born Alone'. Good on you.

I adore Wilco, have seen them several times in the UK and am so happy that they're playing in NZ in April. Missing out on great gigs was my biggest fear about emigrating here but we've got Wilco and Neil Young tickets in our back pockets so we're off to a good start ;-)

A bit of Big Country in this song

I like the last quarter of the song better than the rest. The verse section of this song sounds kind of dopey to me. I like the energy of the last portion though...like I mentioned.

I recently saw Wilco on Austin City Limits. I don't think I have ever seen a band that tight. 5+ guys playing with one musical mind. The crazy thing is that it is controlled chaos - the best of spontaneity combined with studio-like precision. Truly amazing.

And WAY more awesome when you actually see them live in person. I saw them on ACL and also saw them live twice. ACL was good, but so much does not convey on TV compared to a live show. Go get some tickets!
 


Check out their perfomance on NPR Tiny Desk Concert.

Two Wilco songs within 30 minutes of each other.  This is a good day.

Too bad Fred that this is an auto Ho-Hum for you, but I get what you are saying.  There are certain bands out there that give me a similar reaction.

Maybe just like the first Wiico.
Which Mr. Tweedy has been trying to avoid since the "AM" album.
Why... I don't know.

CTM's been at RP years longer than you but he doesn't come around much anymore. So someone unknown to most of us, and who's bagging on Wilco, will naturally be dismissed as someone who doesn't actually enjoy "good" music. To preempt that inevitable post, he listed some shows he thought were better.

Can't agree with you there. Saw them a couple of nights ago in Raleigh (for about the 7th or 8th time). Incredible show, probably one of the better shows by them I've seen.

To each her and his own, I guess. However, I do have to say that's a pretty impressive list of shows this past year.

Ok, saw my first Wilco show (with about 4000 other people) last night.

Overall, I won't see them again. So much of their music is rather forgettable, without enough melody. Just pleasant anonymous music.  Sometimes it is a bit loud and theatrical, but the song itself is ho-hum.

This year I also saw Peter Gabriel, Mark Knopfler, Manu Chao, Neko Case, Steely Dan, Dengue Fever, Steve Miller, Elbow, Lindsay Buckingham, Furthur, KT Tunstall, Gomez and some more
I would see all those bands again, very memorable, lots of hits.

Wilco?  Not so much.  Their hits are good, but so much of their music does not "ring" for me...
